Already so much value from TL;DR informing FOSSA!

Awesome work, I wouldn't be surprised if shaming these tactics stops him from filing or deters future shady characters from similar tactics.

It's why I love Slack. If I remember a conversation about something two months ago I go to the room, search and find exactly what I needed.

I'll definitely buy this when it ships in 1-2 years.

Are you fairly young? I'm 20 and using it more than ever, use it to communicate with most of my friends. Including the text functions.

All of these marketplaces exist in the US and Europe but Lyft Line is different. It's on demand, you get into a car that you just requested on your phone and it designs a route to pick up other passengers on the way, it may only be 10 minutes each. No pre-booking or planning required, the software does everything in real time.

What's wrong with this? If they're delivering coffee German's can't get otherwise, at a fair price for the connivence then it works for everyone. People complain on HN about startups with vague, long term, lofty business models but this is the opposite.

Coffee is different to socks because people that like good coffee won't buy it from anywhere.

Well done for writing about this. I think that people in SV think that this is such a simple issue, if your startup is "doing well" (or if you say things are going well) then you're fine but people are much more complicated. Also that certain feelings are something to be expected and not to be dealt with or talked about. We doubt our abilities, we worry about our external perception, how others will treat us if we fuck up.

Most of the other marketplaces people have mentioned in this thread charge 2-4X more than us. If we can connect companies with great talent it'll be worth it.

Added remote as an option

Absolutely. Honestly, I was really surprised at the number of people that signed up that aren't on the market, still work at their job & couldn't use one of our competitors. Including founders and PM's.

The V1 is definitely not the end implementation, there are a lot of challenges ahead. It's just a great way to connect people at a relatively small scale. With curation and reaching out for more information from talent.

Thanks Tim, changed hiring to companies & clarified that statement. Will try to improve this further.

Made that clearer on the homepage now, just their first year.

It's a different market & a generic term used in hiring (this is only for tech talent & curated approach), the name isn't that important though.

We want to get out of the way as much as possible. We're really involved with companies and check back in. Can check Linkedin, etc. We wait to see how the employee fits within the company.

If we connect companies with high quality hires they'll want to pay so that they can continue working with us. This will likely only scale to a certain size.

Doh. Fixed, thanks.

We quietly launched about a week ago and have already seen good quality and experience from technical talent. With 50+ engineers, designers, PM's on the platform. Some with 15 years of experience in their field or previous experience leading teams at well known companies

Co-founders of startups are signing up to find something new, PM's at tech companies are looking to join startups and engineers that think they might want to try something new are getting options.

We speak to every signup to evaluate if they're right for the platform and if we can find the right role for them. Once a company and employee are matched, they can communicate directly through their own process.

Uber is 30% less than taxi's in SF. I think in NY it is also cheaper than taxi's. Your data might be a year behind, when it used to be more expensive.

For years people said this about Uber in London but now the cabbies are protesting them because they're getting a lot of traction. It's important to remember that Uber is cheaper than cabs in almost all of the markets they're in. In SF they're more than 50% cheaper.

Surge pricing essentially does this on Uber's platform

I've had a good experience with homejoy thus far, we usually get the same guy and he does a good job. It's not cheap but worked out well for us in SF.

They've been morphing into a seed stage VC firm for a long time, the new deal and increase in partners reflects this.

How is it cloud storage or a "reverse Amazon"? This seems like a worse deal. You pay $300 a year minimum and $29 a delivery for storing small, low value items. Large items cost more (bike is an extra $300/y, ski's are an extra $150).

Their fine print makes the deal look worse.

- They only cover $250 of liability per box and they won't store undeclared expensive items.

- If you don't pay for the service after 30 days they WILL sell all of your stuff. If you do pay to get your stuff back within that 30 day window, they'll be a fee attached.

- However much you pay in the first month will continue for the first 3 months. I.e. If you need to store ski's in your first month (At $25) and return them in that month, you'll pay for the ski's for the following two months.

I live in a city and I could see people maybe using this for unused laptops, etc which I keep in a drawer but the low liability hinders this.

If Uber had a frequent driver program I'm pretty sure I'd be a power user based on this.

The Embassy, SF really fits the bill. It's beautiful. http://embassynetwork.com/location/embassysf

Okay but Spotify premium streams at 320kbps all ogg vorbis.

Right, I live in SF and moved for tech but really embrace the city, get involved with my community and try to be neighborly. I only want what's best for all of the residents.

Neat!
